When you have a GM like this one, who likes to engage in conversations between NPCs with himself, it often pays to allow these little digressions.
In fact, if you positively encourage them, the GM will eventually run out of innocuous things to say and let slip something really important
for your future progress in the adventure. There's only so much chit-chat you can do before resorting to other knowledge that really should
be kept secret for the time being.

It's a well-known principle of interrogation that the longer you sit quiet and let the other person try to fill the silence, the more likely
they are to start blabbing.

Of course if your GM is a really good improvisor, "eventually" might take longer than you're willing to wait.
